ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt the agenda with the addition of Item No. 2 and
Item No. 3 to be placed after Item No. 11. Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OPEN FORUM,VISITORS:
Mr. Ray McAfee, 1360 Hillcrest Drive N.E., stated that he has a petition asking Council to
remove the road construction planned for the year 2001 on Woody Lane, Hillcrest Drive,
Gardena Lane, Gardena Circle, and Tennison Drive. He asked Mr. Bob Nordahl, the City's
Operations Analyst, if the construction was an optional thing. Mr. Nordahl stated that if a
petition was signed by fifty percent (50%) or more of the people involved to vote one way or the
other, Council would vote on the issue. Mr. McAfee thought that with P-rock and sealcoat, the
residents would end up with as good a street as they have had for the last twenty years. He was
amazed at the number of people who thought the same way he did.
Mr. McAfee said that he has talked to Mr. John Flora, Public Works Director, Mr. Jon Haukass,
Assistant Public Works Director, and Mr. Nordahl, regarding sealcoating. He found out that the
City's sealcoat's cycle is eight years. It was last done in 1993, so the streets are due for a
sealcoat.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to receive Petition No. 2000-6. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Flora stated that the City has received six letters from residents in that neighborhood in
support of the project.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to receive the letters. Seconded by Councilmember
Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Jean Lindquist, 1326 Hillcrest Drive N.E., stated that she was informed that this street was
chosen because it was one of the streets in the worst condition and needed asphalt, curb, and
gutters. She said that Hillcrest Drive is in terrible condition. She thought this issue was a no-
brainer because the State would give sixty percent (60%) for State Aid funding. General Capital
Improvements would give fifteen percent (15%), which leaves twenty-five percent (25%) less for
the property owners to pay. She thought it was a bargain. It would cost the City money to patch
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 6
all the time with taxpayers' money. She asked if they did not get a new street if they would be
scheduled for another sealcoat next year.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that Hillcrest Drive is scheduled for sealcoating next
year.
Mr. Flora stated that a sealcoat is applied every eight years. It is waterproofing base on the
surface. It is a temporary fix. The proposed project is for concrete curb and gutter to provide
drainage and to improve the strength of the street.
Ms. Lindquist stated that she did not think people who signed the petition understood it correctly.
Mr. Flora stated that the only cost the citizens would be paying for is the concrete curb and gutter
which is approximately $14 per front foot.
Ms. Lindquist asked if people always have a say on something like this.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that a neighborhood meeting was held, and letters were
sent regarding this.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the normal process for this was.
Mr. Flora stated that an information meeting is scheduled in the spring. Then, it is brought to the
Council. After that, specifications are completed and Council has a hearing for residents
regarding the cost of the proposed project. Council would then approve the project, and bids
would be advertised for and awarded. Construction would start the following spring around
May. After the project has been completed, there would be a final assessment hearing around
November when the exact cost would be provided to the residents. The hearing would be held
and approved, and the residents would have thirty days to pay for the project without any interest
or they could put it on the tax rolls for ten years or any time they wanted to decrease the interest
charged.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Flora if there are problems with water coming down Hillcrest.
Mr. Flora stated that the new concrete curb and gutter would provide a drainage system for all
the surface water collecting on the street running off of the properties. This then goes into the
storm system and is then taken to the creek or lake.
Ms. Leona Hanson, 1321 Hillcrest Drive, stated that they have hills, and water is draining into
basements and onto driveways. She said the slopes have also changed a little. She thought the
street looked like a patchwork quilt. ,
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the petition meant by including the P-rock, sealcoat, and
curbing replacements. She asked if the residents were asking for new concrete curb and gutter.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 7
Mr. McAfee stated that he was told that the P-rock and sealcoat would be done, and the City
would replace curbing that was necessary at that time. That is why he put down curb
replacement.
Mr. McAfee stated that the main reason people signed the petition was because they did not want
to put up with the mess for three months and did not think they needed a new street and curbing.
He did not go around trying to talk anybody into signing this. In the 46 years he has lived there,
he has always been able to get to his house. He agreed that the street looks patched but thought
that the sealcoat and the P-rock would make it look normally one color. Many people that did
not sign the petition were looking for a free driveway by thinking the City would come in 15 feet
to replace their driveway. On one end of the cul-de-sac of Woody Lane there is curbing already.
Over on Tennison there is a block of the same thing. Everybody wants a nice looking street, but
on Tennison Drive there is a neighbor at 5800 Tension Drive that the City should inspect.
Mr. Richard Lindquist, 1326 Hillcrest Drive, stated that he believed the street had not been
replaced in 40 years rather than the 25 years as previously stated. The proposal stated that the
City is replacing the worst streets in Fridley, so Hillcrest Drive must be one of the worst.
Councilmember Billings stated that it has long been the policy of the City of Fridley that Council
would not build streets in neighborhoods where the residents do not want them. There are other
neighborhoods that would gladly like to have their streets done a year earlier. The purpose of the
neighborhood meeting was to see if there were any objections to this before the City started
doing the engineering work. This may mean that the City would not have a 2001 street project,
but it also means that the City can double up in the year 2002.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that he would like to see another neighborhood meeting because he
received a number of telephone calls from people who have signed the petition who learned
more details and would now like their names removed from the petition. Councilmember Wolfe
said it is important to get the facts to the residents. Before anyone signs any petition, it is
important to get all the information.
Councilmember Billings asked Councilmember Wolfe if he was going to coordinate a date with
the City Engineer for a neighborhood meeting and send letters to the neighborhood regarding
that date.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that was correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she would also encourage every resident to be at that
meeting to hear the information and to voice opinions.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that letters would be sent to all homes in this area.

PUBLIC HEARING:
9. TO EVALUATE THE CABLE SYSTEM FRANCHISE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED
BY WIDEOPENWEST MINNESOTA, LLC:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading and open the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING
WAS OPENED AT 8:11 P.M.
Mr. Champa, Management Assistant, stated that this item evaluates the cable system franchise
proposal submitted by the applicant WideOpenWest Minnesota, LLC. This serves to discuss the
applicant's credentials and to begin preliminary discussion of a draft ordinance granting the
cable franchise to WideOpenWest Minnesota. Minnesota law requires that any cable company
operating in a city to first be granted a franchise by the City. This is accomplished by the
ordinance process. There is currently one cable operator in Fridley, and that is Time Warner.
Time Warner's franchise is non-exclusive meaning that any cable company has the legal right to
make an application for a franchise. Once an application is received, the applicant is evaluated
on the technical, legal and financial qualifications. Federal and State law require that the
contents of any new franchise be substantially the same as the franchise ordinance of the
incumbent cable television operator. This is known as a level playing field. Mr. Champa stated
that Minnesota State Statute, Section 238, and City Charter, Chapter 10 provide the legal
framework for evaluating and granting the cable television franchise.
In late March, the City received a letter from WideOpenWest requesting a cable television
franchise. After reviewing State Statute and City Charter, a notice of intent was published two
times in our official newspaper, Focus News. This notice was also mailed to Time Warner
Cable. The notice of intent referred applicants to two additional documents: the Cable
Communications System Requests for Proposals and a Technical Specification memorandum.
These documents provide more detail of the franchising process and the City's technical
requirements. The closing date for the applications was August 14. One response was received.
Staff reviewed the material and found no reason to deny the franchise. Staff sought comments
from the Cable Commission and provided the Cable Commission with the same agenda packet
material seen tonight.
Mr. Chris Julian, Vice-President of Market Developments for WideOpenWest, stated that Mr.
John Manka, Vice President of Corporate Market Development, was also present. Mr. Julian
stated that the network they plan to build would offer Internet, cable television, Internet-based
telephone, and would be extremely fast. Mr. Julian said WideOpenWest would be an open
access network allowing other Internet service providers onto the network which is rare. Other
than the City of St. Paul, WideOpenWest is intending to build their network west of the
Mississippi River.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 9
Mr. Julian stated that their company mission is "be the best at what we do. We want to build and
operate the country's best residential fiber-optic based, high bandwidth Internet digital and cable
television network." Their senior management has a great deal of experience in the cable
industry. Many are from RCN based in New Jersey, WideOpenWest is called an overbuilder
because they build the cable network over the top of the incumbents'. RCN was the first
overbuilder of note. RCN has been able to raise over $4,000,000 to build a fiber optic network.
He said WideOpenWest believes they can do a good job in Fridley. The have the experience in
project management, engineering, system design, materials acquisition, technical support,
customer service, sales, and marketing.
Mr. Julian stated that most of what they do would be done in-house by their company. They
were formed in the middle of last year. Their corparate headquarters are in Denver. Current
shareholders aze in two basic groups. The company management has 22 percent of the company.
The have fourteen franchises typically clustered in certain areas in Denver, Boulder, Tucson,
St. Louis, and Fort Worth. They are going to have a fiber-optic ring that goes around the Twin-
Cities metroplex with a head-end to receive the signal. A signal would be sent to hub sites which
would feed 20,000 homes and then down to nodes feeding 150 homes. They are going to put in
extra fiber on the poles, so it is easier to upgrade the system.
Mr. Julian stated that they are going to have a 850 megahertz system with two-way fiber. Most
networks in the area currently are upgrading to 7�0 megahertz, so their brand new network
would be state of the art. The smaller node sizes mean faster Internet speeds. Their basic service
would be eighty channels with unscrambled service. Another 350 channels would be available
for digital capability. Video-on-demand would have up to 350 channels broken down by
category that you would be able to access right on the TV screen. They would download that
movie so you can watch that movie when you wanted. You would be able to rewind back to the
part of the movie where you might have fallen asleep. You would be able to pause the movie so
you could watch it as many times as you wanted within a 24 hour period. It also includes digital
music, pay per view, and signals for HGTV as they become more available. Internet service
currently gives �6,000 bytes per second. Their system offers 10,000,000 bytes per second. They
would be an open access network, so if there are local based Internet providers that want to have
access to the network, they would allow that. They are going to have to better than the
competition. Time Warner is a big, good company, but WideOpenWest is far superior to them.
WideOpenWest will give customers specific appointment times, and they have competitive
pricing. � � �
N1r. Julian stated that the benefit� the consumer are that the consumers will have super high
bandwidth, always on Internet service, competition, and freedom of choice among Internet
service providers, a new choice for cable service, and voice-over Internet telephone. The
benefits to the City are that there will be increased franchise revenue, free fiber I-net to hook up
City buildings as well as the schools. A better network will be built on the same schedule, pay
the same franchise fee, and carry all the local access channels. Communication is the most
important part. WideOpenWest would like to have a comprehensive communication plan with
the residents as well as with the City. They would be well identified with a unique truck and
khaki shirts �vith logos and nametags. Training of staff is very detailed. WideOpenWest looks
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 10
forward to hopefully providing service to the citizens of the City of Fridley in the very neaz
future.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Julian clarification regazding the service area with St. Paul
east of the Mississippi River area.
Mr. Julian stated that the company jokingly says that they are going west of the Mississippi
River, except St. Paul is to the east.
Councilmember Billings asked what areas they plan on seeking franchises in.
Mr. Julian stated that they did not apply to Lake Minnetonka Cable Commission, Farmington,
Rosemount, Shakopee not the St. Croix Commission.
Councilmember Billings asked what the status is with the rest of the entities around the
metropolitan twin cities area.
Mr. Julian stated that Fridley is a little bit behind, halfway compared to the other cities.
Bloomington has the iirst franchise. Their financial and technical qualifications have been
approved by Northern Dakota County Cable Commission, Southwestern Cable Commission, and
City of Bloomington. WideOpenWest has a franchise pending the franchise document at
Northwest Suburbs Cable Commission. WideOpenWest has been approved in Lakeville in terms
of financial, legal and technical qualifications. The southwest corner seems to be farther ahead.
Councilmember Billings asked if Mr. Julian would expect the entire Minneapolis/St. Paul area to
be up and running at appro,cimately the same time or if would be phased in over multiple
periods.
Mr. Julian stated that it would take approximately five years. He could not tell when they were
going to build until they had physical franchises. Then, they could start deciding. He said he
would like to see that the franchise areas are contiguous to each other so he could go from one
nicely into the next one.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Julian, regarding the Institutional network (I-net), what kind
of provisions existed if WideOpenWest discontinued the franchise. He also asked if the City
could purchase that I-net from WideOpenWest so it could remain in place.
Mr. Julian stated that they would not just up and leave due to the amount of money they are
spending in the area. They provide the fiber to all the locations. It is up to the City and schools
to provide the equipment at the end. He would not have much to do with the I-net on a day-to-
day basis. That would be a closed system to the City.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Julian if they would be working with the other provider to
provide public access channels, government channels, etc. He asked how WideOpenWest would
accomplish that.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25. 2000 PAGE 11
Mr. Julian stated that they are not interested in duplicating what Fridley already has.
WideOpenWest is in the process of supplying language to offset that. He did not know what it
was yet. In terms of interconnection, that is something the City would have to agree on. He did
not see any issues relating to interconnection at all.
Councilmember Billings stated that he wanted to make sure the residents would not get locked
into the current provider from the standpoint that the current provider is the only one who airs
the Council meetings. He asked if that was something previously worked out in the other
franchises.
Mr. Julian stated that they are obligated to provide the identical channels. They would offer the
same program on the same channel.
Mr. Manka, stated that if WideOpenWest did not come to an interconnection agreement. They
would get the feed from each studio if need be.
A member of the audience stated that the speeds would be nice for Internet use, but with the
average technology, she asked if people would have to upgrade.
Mr. Manka, stated that they would check the wiring in the home. If it is not adequate, they
would have to change it at no extra charge.
Mr. Leupold, Time Warner representative, stated that they understood and appreciated the fact
that the current franchise is non-exclusive. Time Warner has had competition for a long time.
They welcome the competition challenge. Time Warner expects the City to fully consider the
legal, technical, and financial considerations of each applicant. Time Warner is very committed
to working with the City to assure that the necessary coordination is there.
Mr. Champa stated that the City has proposed sharing some services like public access the City
has put some language in the proposed ordinance where the applicant could either provide the
service or work out an agreement with the incumbent operator. The City will highlight those
more at the next meeting.
MOTION by, Councilmember Billings to continue this public hearing until October 9. Seconded

10. RESOLUTION REGARDING ADVANCED CORRIDOR PLAN FOR THE NCDA
NORTHSTAR COMMUTER RAIL PROJECT:
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open this item for discussion. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 12
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this presentation will focus on some
issues heard at the Planning Commission meeting on September 6. The recommendation made
by the Planning Commission that night was a five to one vote suggesting that Council consider
the Advanced Corridor Plan subject to twelve sets of comments. The Planning Commission
recommended a inclusion of the station area plan language submitted by staff into the
Comprehensive Plan. They also suggested to staff, if approved, to initiate an overlay zoning
district process for land uses and types of development in and around the station site.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended that Northstaz representatives
investigate ways to mitigate the traffic impacts from the park-and-ride site. One suggestion was
to reduce the size of the parking lot on the east side and possibly increase the parking lot size on
the west side. It was suggested that there be some type of separation between the neighborhood
on the east side of 61 S` Avenue with the park-and-ride site. Staff also asked the NCDA to look at
different access points to evaluate some options with turning movements or signs. Staff made a
recommendation that the parking lot share a driveway with the undeveloped parcel that remains
on the east side. There is also some property related detail about the size of the property on the
east side. Staff asked that the NCDA look for alternative locations for the storm ponds. Staff
suggested to Council and the NCDA that the parking lot be developed to the typical standards for
a commerciaUindustrial use including landscaping requirements. Staff also suggested that the
petitioner come through the plat process. On the west side, the Planning Commission suggested
that there be a maintained connection on Ashton Avenue. The City suggested to the NCDA that
they make the central control facility for the NCDA here on this site. Staff indicated that the
pedestrian underpass underneath the railroad tracks is a crucial connection in terms of pedestrian
connections. The site plan can connect the existing facilities for sidewalks and bikeways around
the site. There were questions on the impacts to the railroad crossings north of this site in the
City. It was suggested that any potential traffic conflicts with traffic accessing or leaving
Stevenson Elementary School. The Planning Commission added a condition that the City
request some type of assurance on long-term maintenance of the upkeep on the property in
generaL
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed park-and-ride site be identified on the east side of the tracks
with 441 spaces, On the west side of the railroad tracks is a smaller park-and-ride site with 261
spaces north of the Tri-Star Insulation facility. Staff received a revised site plan since the
Planning Commission meeting from the Northstar representatives on Thursday, September 22.
The plan is to reduce the size of the park-and-ride site on the east side. The platforms are still
where they were proposed, and the parking lot has been reduced from 441 spaces to 330 spaces.
Two driveways are proposed into the site. One is proposed across from 60`�' Way,and another
one is proposed at mid-block. No longer is there vehicular access from 61S` Avenue suggestion
was made that the southerly driveway on the east side of the parking lot be changed to a right
turn, so the only full movement access would be mid-block. This would promote a right-turn
onto Main Street. The east side is proposed to be reduced by about 111 spaces. A 4-acre parcel
would separate the parking lot from the residential neighborhood. The NCDA is looking at
redesigning the entrance to the underpass instead of accessing an elevator and going straight
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 13
down underneath the tracks. There would be a series of ramps and a certain slope. That would
create a more friendly and open type of atmosphere to go underneath so people would be able to
see to the other side and be able to come back up again. A sidewalk would be proposed on the
west side and on the south side of Main Street.
Ms. Dacy stated that on the west side there would be a parking area on the vacant lot that is there
now, but there would be a smaller parking area to the northeast of that area. A detention pond
would be located to the north, and a vegetative buffer would separate the pond to the residential
area to the north. There would also be another buffer area on the west side. Ashton Avenue
would still continue as the main drive through the parking area to access by 61S` Way. The
advantage of this is to slow down any type of traffic. This is a low volume street, but with the
curves and turns, it would help to slow down the traffic. It would still enable people in that area
to get to the stop light at 61S` Way.
Ms. Dacy stated that the staff analysis of the revised plan is that the rearrangement of the parking
spaces is a positive step. Staff suggested on the east side that the southerly driveway be made
into a right turn only. Some issues need more attention. One is the drainage system for both of
the sites. There is a pond proposed on the west side and another pond proposed on the east side
to be located behind the Parson's Electric building. Staff suggested that runoff could possibly
drain to a storm sewer at 61S` Avenue and Main Street. The depth of that connection is very
deep. There is a ten-foot difference in elevation. The engineers have not had a chance to
determine this for sure yet. On the west side the public right-of-way section for Ashton Avenue
is suggested to be some a public street.
Metro Transit buses will not be stored overnight at this site. The major issue of whistles and
horns is an issue that needs to be addressed. The issue of the rail crossing impacts have not been
addressed as of yet. State Statute says that within 45 days of the hearing, the City shall approved
or disapprove the location and design of the station to be located in the city or the town. The
comments on the Advanced Corridor Plan according to that time frame need to be adopted by
October 25. Then once they are submitted to the NCDA they will submit it to the Commissioner
of Transportation according to State Statute. The NCDA has instituted another option of
approving with conditions. In addition to the two statutory options the approval with conditions
would be a third option. It states that they would get back to the cities in 45 days, which is
policy by the NCDA board. Staff s recommendation is that Council receive any types of
comments on the revised plan.
Ms. Dacy stated that Mr. Tim Yantos is here from the NCDA, and may be able to give an update
on other additional information. Until the comments have been assembled, staff suggested that
action be postponed until October 9 on both of the items.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that many comments have had to do with traffic
through the Sylvan Hills area. One concern was that the park-and-ride would bring traffic
through Sylvan Hills as a convenient way to get to Mississippi Street. He asked what the plans
were for the 4-acre site.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 14
Ms. Dacy stated that is an issue of what happens on the remaining parcel. It is partly addressed
by the proposed station area plan language in the Comprehensive Plan. It does not specify land
uses but suggests principles for the City to use when evaluating any type of development
proposals. There is no proposal of the land use at this time. The site is zoned industrial right
now. The Planning Commission asked if it was reasonable to have industrial at this corner. That
is an issue for another hearing. One recommendation is for the City to direct staff to create an
overlaying zoning district that would control development like any other type of zoning.
Councilmember Billings stated that the entire piece on the east side of the track is owned by
Nielson Investments. It is for sale. He said that we do not know right now if the NCDA or
MnDOT will acquire the actual corner from Nielson Investments or allow Nielson Investments
to do the development on that corner. Plans are not that far along.
Councilmember Billings asked what the options for the City are at this point in time. State
Statute provides that the City can disapprove the original plan and give a list of things we would
like to see them do causing us to approve it. That will then go to the Commissioner of
Transportation who determines if those changes are possible. The NCDA has instituted an
internal policy that they will provide a situation for approval with conditions that is not in the
State Statute. The new process is friendlier but not required by the Commissioner of
Transportation. If it is not approved, the City would have to list the things that would cause it
not to be approved by the Commissioner of Transportation. The NCDA is an organization that is
not comprised of approximately thirty cities between downtown Minneapolis and St. Cloud that
have been working collaboratively putting together a potential rail line from Minneapolis to St.
Cloud. Councilmember Billings said "thank you " to the NCDA staff and their engineers, BRW,
for listening to what the people said at the Planning Commission.
Mr. Yantos, Project Director for the NCDA, stated that the length of time it takes for the train to
pass through the grade crossings is as long for the crossing arms to go down and up. That was
the untechnical answer. He said they will receive a technical one soon. Most trains that go
through now are 100 cars in length. The proposed one would be three or four cars. The starting
time for Stevenson Elementary will determine the traffic impacts for that school. The last train
that comes through this area in the morning is at 8:10 a.m. so that would have a minimal impact
if the school starts at 8:30. They hope to have about 98 percent efficiency on timing. The first
train through in the evening is about 5:00 p.m. This would be after school has been let out. The
whistles would not be blown at the station for neither the passenger nor freight trains, as is a
practice by BNSF. As the train gets closer to the station, a bell would be rung so people are
alerted to get on. There are no statutes that provide that trains need to blow their whistle at a
station.
Mr. Yantos stated that the train is only there for about 45 seconds. The bell signals for people to
get ready.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the bell was similar to a whistle.
Mr. Yantos stated that it is a dinging bell.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25. 2000 PAGE 15
Mayor Jorgenson stated that 45 seconds is not very long for an elderly person or a disabled
person to get on that train.
Mr. Yantos stated that handicapped accessibility will be in the form of a platform set aside, and
the person is able to get on. Once they are on and secured, the train leaves. He said that
although 45 seconds seems short, trains across the country have shown that people are ready to
get on and of£ In each train, there are two doors to allow a lot of people on and off in a very
short period of time. The 45 seconds allows the train to get to its next destination.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the long-term maintenance.
Mr. Yantos stated that the service is maintained by MnDOT, as a recommendation of the NCDA.
They would probably contract that out to someone else.
Councilmember Billings stated that if someone was standing on the railroad track, the train or
commuter rail would blow the whistle as a warning.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this would be a quick train. Waiting at the railroad
crossings would not be an issue compared to the one hundred car trains that goes through.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.
Ms. Pauline Mewhorter, 39 - 62"d Way, stated that there is a very low traffic impact at this time
on her street. There are probably only five cars that go down the street on a daily basis. There
are probably only six homes. She has lived there for twenty years. If the traffic will be rerouted,
she lives really close to where people would be coming out of a parking lot that has 355 spaces.
The people parking there may just cut right straight through past her house. She might get light
from the headlights along with the environmental impacts. She asked how she would get out of
her driveway. She asked if there was going to be a bus route going through there, too.
Ms. Dacy stated that the intent of this site plan was that the buses would come in on 615� Way. It
was not intended for traffic in the park-and-ride area to go north, it was intended to retain a
connection to the neighborhood to the north so people would still be able to drive down to 615`
Way. The City does not want to encourage high speeds in that area. She thought that maybe the
design is not typical of public streets. The vegetation planned would serve as a buffer to provide
screening from headlights.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that Mrs. Mewhorter does have a point that if you were
parked there and you wanted to go back up to Mississippi Street, taking and right a left turn by
her house to get to Mississippi Street would be an option.
Ms. Dacy stated that there is an immediate and direct way to the East River Road from 61S` Way.
Possibly, if people are going eastbound on Mississippi Street the motivation may be to avoid the
traffic light.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 16
Ms. Mewhorter asked if this project was going to pay for the assessments, if any, for putting in
new curbs and streets and drainage.
Ms. Dacy stated that it is her understanding that it would not be Ms. Mewhorter's responsibility.
Councilmember Billings asked if they would make the section immediately adjacent to the pond,
one way going south. This would force people to use 61 st Way to East River Road cutting down
on the amount of traffic and minimizing the amount of headlights shining in the window.
Councilmember Wolfe asked what would happen if that intersection had a cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Billings stated that the reason for having the street there is to get the people that
live north of there and along Ashton Avenue and the people who live on 62"a Way, a way to
come south through the parking lot in order to get to the signal at 61St Way.
Mr. John ivers, 5271 Trinity Drive, stated that the noise affected zones of the whistle blowing in
the area is up to a one-half mile going well beyond University Avenue and East River Road. The
noise level immediately adjacent, if a whistle is used, is actually above the normal sound level
interfering with speech and television viewing. He strongly encouraged Council that the use of
whistles not be a requirement.
Councilmember Bolkcom thanked Mr. Ivers for the written materials he presented at the
Planning Commission.
Mr. Leonard Passon, 6211 Rainbow Drive, stated that he was encouraged by the no whistle
solution. The east corridor is developing as rapidly as`the west corridor. Right now Central
Avenue handles about as much traffic as it can. He suspected that it would not be a year after the
commuter train goes into operation that there would be another commuter train coming out the
east. He thought the crossings on Osborne Road and 77`h and 85th Avenues would be so busy
that it would be almost impossible to go through there without having to stop for a train.
Mr. Dale Warren, 6220 Jupiter Road, asked if a sound barrier behind the houses was in the plans.
He noticed that since the trees have been taken down, he has experienced more noise when the
trains come through. With a wall, the sound would go up, instead of going out. He asked if it
was possible to make the 4-acres into a park area instead of having a drainage ditch with
shrubbery and a pond to keep the noise from coming around into the area. He thought the wall
would be the security for people who live there. He asked if there were future plans to have
more than four cars coming on the train.
Councilmember Billings stated that the platform itself is approximately 400 feet long.
Mr. Yantos stated that each car is about 80 feet long.
Mr. Warren asked if there were plans to add any more space there.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 _ PAGE 17
Councilmember Billings stated that they are anticipating starting out with two and three cars per
train and going to the four car limit. If they need more than four, they aze looking at putting
additional trains on the track.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the Environmental Impact Statement would be looking at all
those noise barrier questions.
Mr. Yantos stated that it does address the noise issue. The draft will be available within the next
thirty days for public review. If all the items are not covered, additional information can be
added. The noise has been a concern and has been reviewed.
Mr. Dennis Johnson, 6336 Starlite Boulevard, stated that NCDA should have a noise wall on
both the east and west side. At night he can hear the trains blowing the whistle since it is quite
distinctive. He has an article off the Internet regarding the possible commuter rail system with
the Bethel corridor. He asked how fast the freight trains would be traveling through Fridley.
They will have to travel very fast with the commuter trains going through. Mr. Johnson said he
thought he would have to pay for upgrades in the rail tracks with signaling through our taxes.
The first time he heard about the whistle was that it was a federal policy. The federal
government is looking at changing the law in communities where they have no whistle. He
wanted Council to make sure that this impact will be a positive one, and that Fridley will be a
better place to live. He asked if there was going to be security in the tunnel underneath the tracks
that is open 24 hours a day. Safety is his concern, and he wishes that the station area would be
built closer to I-694. He asked when the second tier was going to come through.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the vandalism as far as the bikeway/walkway is the light
fiYtures. kedoing the light fixtures will make it less of an issue.
Mr. Passon stated that being along the railroad tracks, transients could come into the area
especially in bad weather.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the reason the City cannot have a station by the railroad yard is
because of the distance from the northtown yards.
Councilmember Billings stated that the Northtown yards are the second busiest yards between
Chicago and Seattle. They will not allow pedestrian traffic to be in that area. A train station is
not allowed at any point south of where they start widening out for the yard.
Ms. Dacy stated that the 24 hour issue is their suggestion to Council that staff submit that
comment to the NCDA based on the fact that if the station is open from 6:OOa.m. to 6:00 p.m., it
does provide the amount of time for people to use the underpass. Staff suggested that the NCDA
investigate keeping that option open. The operational issue of keeping this open 24 hours is on
the list for evaluation.
Ms. Connie Metcalfe, 860 Moore Lake Drive, stated that she is curious why the parking lot on
the east side is so far south. She thought the walk from the parking lot will be a long way.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 18
Ms. Dacy stated that the distance is long, but the intent is to create somewhat of a buffer from the
neighborhood to the north of 61 St Avenue. This forces people to access the parking lot from
Main Street as opposed to 615` Avenue.
Ms. Metcalfe asked if the buffer area could be smaller to bring cars closer to the station.
Ms. Dacy stated that could be an option. Staff is trying to suggest that by keeping this at four
acres means that this is a substantial piece of acreage for an efficient design.
Mr. Warren asked when people get out of their vehicle if there will be an enclosed platform for
them.
Ms. Dacy stated that there will be a sidewalk that will separate the tracks and the platform that
will be out in the open.
Mr. Warren asked if they could walk on the platform itself.
Councilmember Billings stated that the platform is not covered at all. There will be an arched
area that will be almost the entire length of the platform to provide shelter from the wind and
rain.
Ms. Dacy stated that there are bus shelters with a connection of the sidewalk to proceed to the
platform. There is going to be enclosures where the ticket booths are.
Mr. Warren asked if it was possible to have a security system with bars where people walk
through and lock up at a certain time.
Councilmember Billings stated that is contrary to providing a connection between the
neighborhood on the east side of the tracks with the neighborhood on the west side. This
provides an opportunity for the children who go to Stevenson School to take their bicycles and
get underneath the railroad tracks to provide a safe connection to tie the neighborhoods together.
He said that Council had requests from people on the west side of the tracks to work with
MnDOT to provide a connection between Mississippi Street and I-694.
Mr. Warren stated that he is asking if the gates would be closed and locked between midnight to
5:00 a.m.
Councilmember Billings stated that the NCDA has indicated that is an operational feature. They
are not sure they would be able to allow public access under there at all from 6:OOp.m. to
6:00 a.m.
Mr. Bill Camp, 6280 University Avenue, stated that he saw no reason that the bell could not ring
inside the cars to warn the people it is time to get off. He asked if something could be
transmitted by receiver to start a bell ringing on the station proper and not have the dinging out in
the public. It is a loud dinging. Nobody seems to want to show pictures of the Sylvan Hills
neighborhood and how to control traffic coming off of Mississippi Street. In the past, the City
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 19
has closed the streets even to the residents because of the traffic before this rail proposal. Now
nobody seems to care.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that one of the reasons for leaving those four acres is
that it prevents the traffic from going out to Sylvan Hills.
Mr. Camp stated that the buffer does not change how the traffic will react coming off from the
north. A better idea was the pond there. He is against putting the station there because two
wonderful neighborhoods are tieing spoiled.
Mr. Fred Harvey, 108 River Edge Way, asked what the total number of passengers for this rail is.
Ms. Dacy stated that the projection is azound 1400 people.
Mr. Harvey stated that those on River Edge Way have a difficult time getting in and out on rush
hour. Building the train station would make the situation worse.
Councilmember-at-Large Barnette stated that these are going to be short periods of time of heavy
traffic.
Mr. Harvey stated that it is during that time that they already have problems getting in and out.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she thought there will be increased traffic in that area, but that
intersection would probably become signalized to control the traffic flow.
Iv1r. Harvey stated that it would be dangerous for children riding their bikes to school coming
under that underpass to cross at East River Road.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table this item until October 9. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they could summarize any outstanding issues.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Mr. Yantos talked about MnDOT doing the maintenance on this
property. She asked if the City is going to see the same type of maintenance they have seen on
University Avenue and Highway 65 where they mow it twice per year. She said she was
concerned about 61 St Way and the neighborhood traveling through the parking lot to go south on
East River Road. She thought there might be a better way of trying to figure out how to
accomplish that. She asked what the current zoning was on the parcel that is west of the tracks
where the parking lot is proposed.
Ms. Dacy stated that it is R-1, single family.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 20
Ms. Dacy stated that to summarize: the issues are the traffic issues on the west side; and
congestion and headlights. Mr. Yantos will satisfy the technical answer for the time of the
railroad crossing. The whistle issue has been addressed. She did not know if the security or the
central control facility question can be answered in 45 days. The pond location could be located
on the south side or back toward 61 S` Avenue with additional landscaping. The drainage issue
needs to be talked through with the NCDA engineers and the City engineers. A reference to the
Bethel corridor for another commuter rail line will probably not be another route through
Fridley. Staff also needs to firm up the time for the Stevenson School issue as well.
Mr. Burns stated that the request for sound barriers is a big concern also.
Mr. Campbell expressed the idea of ringing the bells on the train and in station as opposed to out
in the open.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Environmental Impact hearings will be held this fall and are expected to
be initiated in the next thirty days.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how the neighborhood would find out about this. She also
asked if the meetings were going to be held near where they live.
Mr. Yantos stated that they have used the Municipal Center Hall for several occasions and may
want to do that for the EIS hearing.
Mr. Burns asked Mr. Yantos if he had tried the Stevenson School for a hearing site because it
may be more convenient.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the mailing list.
Mr. Yantos stated that they would use the newspapers.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if they would be held during the day or the evening.
Mr. Yantos stated that they would be held in the evening.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be an opportunity for people to submit written
letters and e-mail.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be a summary after the hearing for the
community.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.

11. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGARDING A STATION AREA PLAN FOR THE
NCDA COMMUTER RAIL STATION SITE:
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table this item until October 9. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER-AT-LARGE
BARNETTE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. RESOLUTION NO. SS-2000 APPROVING A SUBDIVISION, LOT SPLIT, LS #00-
04, TO ESTABLISH A SIZE CONFORMING COMMERCIAL LOT,
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5943 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E. (BY EARL
WEIKLE & SONS AND VAN-O-LITE)(WARD 1):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Van-O-Lite is proposing a new 7,400 square foot building
just north of the existing Alano property. The request is to authorize the creation of a 24,570
square foot lot for Van-O-Lite and a 45,900 square foot lot for the Alano development. The
Planning Commission recommended approval with twelve stipulations. Staff added an
additional stipulation requiring payment of park fees when the building permit is issued. Staff
recommended Council's approval.
Councilmember Billings stated that in the past the Alano Society have shown a total disregard
for the neighborhoods immediately to the east and for the stipulations of the special use permit
requirements that have been requested of the Alano Society. They have shown a total disregard
for building code requirements. Councilmember Billings would like to make sure that the City is
completely and unequivocally confident that all the screening on the east side and drainage
problems that exist are going to be corrected and that there will be no further problems in that
area.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission has discussed the drainage and parking issue, and
Mr. Paul Bolin, Planner, stated that the drainage issues were a problem in the past, but they have
been addressed. The City will retain a performance bond if they are not. The Alano Society
needs to concrete curb the north edge of their parking lot and are committed to doing that.
Councilmember Billings asked if there was a screening fence along the east side of the property.
Ms. Dacy stated that there is. It is a requirement that a screening fence go along the Van-O-Lite
Property as well.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the resolution with the following tnirteen
stipulations: 1) Petitioner is responsible for any actions required to transfer fee title to the
vacated alley. This action must be completed prior to issuance of any building permits due to the
fact that the lot is substandard in size without inclusion of the vacated alleyway; 2) Petitioner
shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction; 3) A landscape plan meeting all code
requirements for number of, size of, and types trees shall be submitted prior to issuance of any
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 PAGE 22
building permits; 4) All boulevard and landscaped areas shall be properly irrigated and sprinkled
as required by City Code; 5) Petitioner shall provide code required number of parking stalls; 6)
Storm pond must meet approval of City engineering staff; 7) Petitioner shall install code required

REDUCE THE 15 FOOT PLANTING STRIP TO 10 FEET, AND TO REDUCE
THE PARKING STALL WIDTH FROM 10 FEET TO 9 FEET TO ALLOW THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW COMMERCIAL BUILDING, GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 5943 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E. (WARD ?):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that in order to build the proposed project for Van-O-Lite, three
variances are requested. The Appeals Commission recommended approval of reducing the
parking setback from 20 feet to 10 feet along the frontage road, and reducing the required 15 foot
planting strip to 10 feet. The Appeals Commission however recommended denial of the variance
request on width of parking spaces for the west and south sides of the proposed project. They
did recommend approval of a parking space width reduction from 10 feet to 9 feet on the east
side of the project. The commission recommended seven stipulations.
Councilmember Billings asked if the parking stall was only allowed to be reduced to nine feet on
one side of the building.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct. It is Stipulation No. 7.
Councilmember Billings asked if Stipulation No. 7 was supposed to read "nine" feet.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the Variance Request, VAR #00-21, with the
following seven stipulations: 1) Approval is dependent upon lot split approval; 2) Petitioner
responsible for any actions required to transfer fee title to the vacated alley. This action must be

AUTHORITY (HRA) TO REMOVE TREES ON THE GATEWAY EAST
PROJECT SITE GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR THE CORNER OF 57`H
AVENUE AND UNIVERSITY AVENUE (WARD 1):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Chapter 510 of the City Code requires the Parks and
Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and the City Council to consider removal
of trees on "public" property. The HRA would like to remove some of the trees located
in the Gateway East Project on the former JR Automotive site and the vacant parcel to the
east. These trees would eventually be removed by construction anyway, but earlier
removal is suggested, as a result of safety concerns expressed by residents in the azea.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended approval at its October 2 meeting.
The Planning Commission does not have any items for consideration in October, and
rather than schedule a Planning Commission meeting just for this one item, staff
recommended Council's approval.
REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED AFTER ITEM NO. 33
FOR DISCUSSION.
7. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 4 TO STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
NO. ST. 2000 - 1:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the change order is needed to cover the cost of
additional storm sewer installation and catch basins on the University Avenue East
Service Drive. It is also needed to cover the cost of resurfacing the Madsen Park parking
lot. The cost for the additional work on the service drive is $18,045. The cost for the
resurfacing of the Madsen Park lot is $14,025. The total cost of Change Order No. 4 is
$;2,070. This brings the total project cost to $708,826.80. Staff recommended Council's
approvaL

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 5
8. RESOLUTION NO. 87-2000 ABATING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE
RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS AREA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (WARD 3):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that on May 8, Council approved a resolution certifying
assessments related to the Riverview Heights Improvement Project. During the
discussion that evening, a few residents had not completed some property combinations
in order to reduce their number of assessable parcels. Staff recommended Council's
approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 87-2000.
9. RESOLUTION NO. 88-2000 RELATING TO THE CITY OF FRIDLEY'S TAX
RATE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE YEAR 2001:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the State Legislature passed a law in 1999 that
forced the City to calculate a theoretical net tax capacity rate. That theoretical rate is
determined by subtracting our 2000 fiscal disparities distribution from the City's 2000
budget levy. The remainder is divided by the total tax capacity for Fridley for 2001. If
the year 2001 tax capacity rate exceeds this theoretical tax capacity rate, the City must
reduce the budget levy. In order to prevent this from happening, Council is authorized to
pass a resolution that allows the City to use a tax capacity rate that may be higher than the
theoretical rate, which is what staff proposed. The budget levy will remain as approved
by Council on August 28. Had the required information been available to calculate the
theoretical tax capacity rate in August, staff would have presented this resolution at the
time staff presented the budget levy. Staff recommended Council's approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 88-2000.
10. APPOINTMENT
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that staff recommended the appointment of two
employees. The first is Jane Oster to the position of Receptionist/Licensing Clerk. This
position was vacated by Sue Anne Kirkham as a result of her recent promotion to another
position within the City. Jane has worked for the City since 1993 as a Liquor Store
Clerk. She was appointed lead clerk in 1999. She is a 1982 Graduate of the Hennepin
Technical Center.
The second appointment is the appointment of Kenneth J. Small to the position of Public
Services Worker - Sewer. Mr. Small has been employed by the General Mills-Purity
Oats Division in Minneapolis for the last twelve years.
APPOINTED JANE OSTER AND KENNETH SMALL.

1�. CONSIDERATION OF A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA #00-02, BY
QWEST WIRELESS, LLC, TO CREATE AN APPRO.VED SITE FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF TOWERS OR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
FACILITIES, GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AT 1200
CHERI LANE N.E. (WARD 1):
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT
7:47 P.M.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this request was to amend Appendix A
of the O-5 Telecommunication District for an approved site for wireless tele-communications
services. Qwest wants to install an antenna on a Northern States Power Company (NSP) pole
located in the right-of-way north of Menazds along the Cheri Lane right-of-way. There is a pole
there, and Qwest would like to take that down, build a new one, and put an antenna on top of
that. They are also proposing the above ground equipment to service that antenna. This process
is unique. The O-5 District created a number of approved sites throughout the City to allow
these as a permitted use. To create an approved site Qwest must go through a process similaz to
the rezoning process. The telecommunications overlay zoning ordinance establishes a number of
criteria for these sites. Qwest gave the communication facility of Larpenter as an example of the
cylinder design they would use. The antenna meets the location principles in the ordinance and
raises the issue that this is a shorter facility and pole and is less obtrusive. The majority of the
criteria have been met. The City is going to see more of these types of facilities on light and
electric poles. Some facilities need a lot of ground equipment. This increases the clutter and
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9 2000 PAGE 8
equipment in the right-of-way. More antennas on the pole would detract efforts to camouflage
these facilities as best as possible.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval with a stipulation that the
ground equipment should be installed above grade after hearing the testimony from the
petitioner.
Councilmember Billings asked Ms. Dacy to clarify the position of staff regarding the above or
underground facilities.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff felt it should go underground because this application represents the
wave of the future. Council will be seeing more of these. The right-of-way will become more
and more popular with more facilities requiring ground equipment. The City is establishing this
site location as an approved site. One part of the ordinance is to camouflage the facilities which
is very visible site along I-694. It is a reasonable stipulation to camouflage.
Councilmember Billings asked what the response is to ventilating equipment being almost as
obtrusive as the equipment itself.
Ms. Dacy stated that the issue for the below grade vault is cost. It is more expensive, and the
above ground equipment is one box instead of a larger set of boxes. At some point, a statement
has to be made as to what is acceptable in terms of what is located in the right-of-way. There is
more land area on this particular site to do it.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that it is also a safety item. Any vehicles leaving the
roadway would have a tendency to crash into it.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if a ventilation system would require fans.
Ms. Dacy stated that it probably does require fans.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how close this was to the road.
Ms. Dacy stated that there is about 30 feet between the curb line and the right-of-way.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she thought above ground facilities did not look that bad,
especially with landscaping around them. She asked if there was any other community where
this is underground.
Ms. Dacy stated that the above ground facility is about four feet tall. She said that the city
ordinances of St. Paul and Minneapolis have not required the petitioner to place equipment
underground, but provisions do exist in various parts of the City's ordinances. There are
municipal examples to require such installation. She thought this might happen in the future
where there is not a lot of space along the roadside.
Councilmember Wolfe asked where the vehicles would be coming from in this particular area
and where they might crash into the facilities.
Mr. Flora stated that they would be coming on Cheri Lane. There is a curve by the parking lot.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9. 2000 PAGE 9
Councilmember Wolfe stated that neither direction goes toward that facility.
Councilmember Billings stated that on an icy slippery day, cars might end up just about
anywhere. The City engineer's point of view is that they strive to put the fewest amount of
obstructions in the right-of-way as possible.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that this particular area is set far away from the street.
Ms. Dacy stated that the petitioner submitted a landscaping plan that proposes six-foot tall
arborvitae species around the facilities.
Mr. Larry Colemen, Qwest Wireless, stated that they have equipment on three approved sites
already. They tried to use the Matterhorn Drive water tank, but it would not provide the
coverage they need. They need to be near the intersection to fill the gap in the coverage, and that
is why they have chosen that location. He said they have over 400 sites in Minnesota, and over
3,000 system wide. Not one is underground. Equipment has to be sealed from the environment
if it is underground. This means putting it in a vault. The vault has to be humidity and
temperature controlled with a sump pump. There would be an air conditioning unit, as well as
room for access for people to come into the vault. Room would have to be made for the cabinet
doors to swing open so the equipment can be serviced. Rather than having ground equipment
that is 2.5 feet by 9 feet, you end up having equipment that is 20 feet by 20 feet and 11 feet deep.
Cable providers would not be able to run the cable through the vault. They would have to go
under or around. The air conditioning unit would be quite large also. This creates a huge area
that will be wider than the ground equipment. The landscaping would include some evergreens
around there so the equipment would not be seen. The Planning Commission recommended that
brown paint be used, but because of technical reasons related to the color brown attracting more
heat, a heat shield would need to be used.
Mr. Flora stated that the ground space would still be the same amount of area, and Qwest would
still have to service the cabinet from both sides.
Mr. Coleman stated that they would have to open the doors. The space with the landscaping
would still take up about the same amount of area as underground.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if someone was to co-locate on the pole, if they could also put up similar
equipment.
Mr. Coleman stated that it would depend on the carrier. Some carriers have a box similar to the
transformer box, and other carriers have larger equipment. Some carriers aze able to
accommodate their equipment on the poles.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the facility would be large enough to accommodate another user if it
was underground.
Mr. Coleman stated that it would not be large enough.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there were other utilities adjacent to this.
Mr. Flora stated that there are none. One sewer line goes to the north and one goes to the east.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9 2000 PAGE 10
Councilmember Billings stated that the coverage area is needed down here rather than by the
water tower. He asked if there was adequate coverage on top of the hill.
Mr. Coleman stated that it overshoots the coverage objective because it is too high to cover the
low areas.
Councilmember Billings asked if the installation of this pole would enable the signal to be
received on top of the hill. Right now, he just turned in eight cellular phones with Qwest,
because they could not get a signal at his home on top of the hill. His home is 60 yards from the
water tower up on Manor Drive.
Mr. Mitchell, Radio Frequency Engineer of Qwest, stated that Qwest currently has sites
surrounding this area. There is a very challenging problem along the hill. This proposed
solution is a very low site which would fill in that area. Based on the drive test, Qwest would
know if this would work on the hill area. This particular site would have a one-quarter to one-
half mile of service radius.
Councilmember Billings asked if one of the concerns with the above ground equipment was the
possible multiple location proliferation of this type of equipment throughout the City. He asked
if the City would be setting a precedent by putting this underground at this location.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that nothing that Council would do, unless they established a
precedent, necessarily creates a precedent for future placement locations. The concept of
modifying the ordinance and allowing for these kinds of places gives a considerable amount of
discretion. This is not quite the next step and is a singulaz easily acceptable exception to the
general rule in which the City could say that the circumstances were unique enough. Mr. Knaak
did not think it was Council's intent to create a precedent.
Councilmember Billings asked if Council could go ahead with the recommendation from the
Planning Commission and not lock themselves into an above-ground facility at all future
installations.
Mr. Knaak stated that was correct.
Mr. Coleman stated that this is a site to fill in a coverage gap.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Barnette.

Mayor Jorgenson asked for an explanation of why the cost is $14.00 per lineal foot.
Mr. Pribyl stated that it has to do with the contract cost for installation of concrete, curb, and
gutter.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the more concrete put in, the cheaper it gets for
them to provide the concrete.

23. RESOLUTION NO. 89-2000 REGARDING ADVANCED CORRIDOR PLAN FOR
THE NCDA NORTHSTAR COMMUTER RAIL STATION (TABLED
SEPTEMBER 25, 2000):
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to remove this item from the table. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
NIOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
N1s. Dacy, Director of Community Development, stated that at the last City Council meeting,
Council reviewed some issues with the process and the proposed commuter rail site at 61St
Avenue and 61 S` Way. Council took comment on the revised plan which reduced the parking
spaces on the east side of the proposed commuter rail park-and-ride facility and proposed a
different size parking facility on the west side of the railroad tracks. Pursuant to State Statute,
w-ithin 45 days of the hearing that was conducted by the Northstar Corridor Development
Authority, (N.C.D.A.) on September 7, 2000, the city or town shall approve or disapprove the
location and design of the station to be located in the city or the town. The city or town that
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 15
disapproves shall describe specific amendments to the plan that if adopted, would cause the City
to withdraw its disapproval. The 45-day timeframe expires on midnight of October 23. Once
Council submits this action to the N.C.D.A., is then submitted it to the Commissioner of
Transportation. The N.C.D.A. has instituted a policy of another option for cities along the
corridor. That option is to approve the proposed station site with conditions. The N.C.D.A. has
adopted a policy to respond to the communities within 45 days of action on the Advanced
Corridor Plan.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff put together a four-page resolution that recites and outlines the City's
understanding of the project proposed on the existing railroad tracks. It documents that the City
conducted three meetings. It also reviews and documents the public comments during those
hearings. The location, crime concerns, and other issues are addressed in the "whereas"
statements. It proposes that the City follow the State statutes. The resolution identifies a list of
other issues that the N.C.D.A and the Commissioner of Transportation should address. The
resolution, as summarized, states that the proposed Advanced Conidor Plan in August is
disapproved, and the City requests tha� the N.C.D.A. and the Commissioner of Transportation
evaluate other possible station locations that would create less of an impact on a residential
neighborhood. If the station is to be located at 61S` Way and 61St Avenue, it would place a
number of site design conditions on the plan submitted on September 20. The resolution is
saying that it is proposing this particular site with conditions pertaining to that design plan.
Those conditions reflect comments raised at the September 23 meeting.
Ms. Dacy stated that the resolution requests the Commissioner of Transportation and the
N.C.D.A to minimize all train whistles. It also requests them to appropriately reduce and
mitigate noise, consider location of the Central Security Control Facility as an anchor tenant
within a building on the four acre parcel on the east side of the railroad tracks. Another concern
is the ongoing maintenance of this station. The resolution requests them to arrange for
appropriate maintenance operations. The N.C.D.A. shall submit all required land use
applications and the City of Fridley reserves the right to place stipulations. It notifies the
N.C.D.A. that the City of Fridley reserves the right to install traffic control signage around the
station site and suggests that they review the benefiting parties of the signal lights at 615t Way. It
also requests evaluation of the current statutory process regarding the Advanced Corridor Plan.
The resolution requires them to evaluate and respond to the resolution and to return comments to
the City. The environmental impact statement are hearings will be held this fall.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to accept the four letters sent by Randy and Sue
Benedict; Ken and Carol Hughes; Delora Kristian; and Norris and Doris Knutson. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the neighborhood has been sent the resolution before us this evening.
Ms. Dacy stated that they have not. This was prepared last week and a copy of the resolution is
in the public copy of the agenda book.
Councilmember Barnette stated that the City really listened to some comments from the
meetings they had. On page 73 of the agenda book, it states that "The City Council of the City
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 16
of Fridley, hereby disapproves the station design as submitted by the Northstar Corridor
Development Authority, as submitted in the Advanced Corridor Plan transmitted to the City on
August 4, 2000." There are a number of things that the neighbors talked about. Councilmember
Barnette thanked Councilmembers Bolkcom, Billings, as well as City staff who worked out
these things to meet the requests of the neighbors. He felt it was a real process in democracy.
He did not think the City had the final say so on this subject. He asked if there was any idea of a
time line when a final decision might be made.
Mr. Tim Yantos, N.C.D.A. representative, stated that is the process they are working through
right now. Specific locations have to be identified within the next couple of months. N.C.D.A.
hopes to make a final decision so the project can move forward.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the City had 45 days to respond. She asked how soon the
City could expect a response back from the Northstar Corridor or MnDOT.
Mr. Yantos stated that within the next 45 days after October 23, they would, hopefully, be able to
respond to many of the issues all of the communities have addressed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the environmental studies and the hearing on that would
happen.
Mr. Yantos stated that they would have a hearing somewhere in this vicinity hopefully by early
December.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if who could direct their questions and information to.
Mr. Yantos stated that they could respond directly to the Commissioner of Transportation or
people to him as Director of the project.
Councilmember Billings stated that he wanted to thank Ms. Dacy and Mr. Hickok, Planning
Coordinator, for the tremendous amount of work they had put into this resolution. There are 35
findings of fact and thirteen actions the City is taking. He felt they listened to the concerns
expressed and covered each and every one of them in the resolution. He thanked the N.C.D.A.,
the Department of Transportation, and the BRW Engineering firm for the effort between the
Planning Commission meeting and the City Council meeting in addressing the concerns with the
actual site plan dated on September 20. He would like to make one small language change in the
resolution.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve the resolution regarding the advanced corridor
plan of the Northstar Commuter Rail Station. Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to amend the resolution starting at the second bullet from
the bottom: "The underpass shall be designed with the "switchback" on either side of the
railroad tracks, and shall be designed with some type of enclosure to protect pedestrians from
inclement weather, but yet allow an appropriate amount of light and air." Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they wanted to continue the process to get any new
information. She asked if it would be in order to let members of the audience speak.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 17
Mr. Dennis Johnson, 6336 Starlite Boulevard, asked why the project would have to have an
underground tunnel, if the project comes to exist. He thought the tunnel would present more
problems because many people use 61 St Avenue for the buses which is a safety hazard. If 61 St
Avenue is blocked off, he thought people might cut through back yards. The existing fence that
has been there is getting worn out. He asked when the line from Bethel was going to start and
join the line coming down from Anoka through Fridley. He said the traffic through Sylvan Hills
still has not been addressed.
Mr. Yantos stated that MnDOT first designated the Northstar Corridor and then the Red Rock
Corridor which goes to Hastings. There also is a corridor that goes down to Lakeville. A variety
of different lines, including the Bethel line, are placed in the second phase and are projected to
be at least twenty yeazs out.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if this would mean additional trains or cars added on to existing trains.
Mr. Yantos stated that there would be some ridership in Bethel. He said a train or two might be
added that would meet in Coon Rapids, for example.
Councilmember Billings asked if the N.C.D.A. has been doing any preliminary looks at a line
from Coon Rapids and Bethel at this point in time.
Mr. Yantos stated that they have not.
Councilmember Billings stated that they are strictly looking at St. Cloud at this time.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.
Mr. Todd Meissner, 6201 Starlite Boulevard, asked if the City of Fridley has the authority to say
no. He asked how Burlington Northern could say that N.C.D.A could not have a site on their
property. There is a lot of industrial property along the tracks that would better suit this station.
He was against the project from the start, but is pleased with staff and the way they are working
with the neighborhood to meet the neighborhood's needs. He asked if Burlington Northern was
willing to work with the neighborhood to install sound barriers. He asked if it was possible to
put in speed bumps if the traffic goes down Starlite Boulevard.
Mr. Flora stated that normally speed bumps are not constructed in the City because of snowplow
equipment. However, the City of Blaine's policy is that speed bumps can be installed if residents
want to pay for them and replace them if they change their minds.
Mr. Meissner stated that a snowplow is much easier to replace than a child that gets hit by a car.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this is something staff could look into.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the bottom line was that the Commissioner of Transportation
would go forward with this project even if Fridley does not want it.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the City is for the project, but the City can let the N.C.D.A. and the
Commissioner of Transportation know about the things the City is not very happy with. The
City can make suggestions and changes.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 18
Councilmember Wolfe stated that the number one complaint he hears from so many people is the
amount of money that is going to be spent on the commuter rail. It is fiustrating, but it sounds
like it is out of our control.
Mr. Burns stated that there are a lot of players in this project, including the State legislature
paying forty percent (40%) of the construction cost of the whole project.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that it seemed like investing millions of dollars in a project that a
few people would use.
Mr. Burns stated that he knows that mass transit had a tough time going in this neighborhood.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that nothing is ideal. There have been many changes since the
first plan. The railroads can basically do what they want to do. This is just the first phase.
Looking at sound barriers would be part of the environmental study that needs to be done yet.
She said that Council would try to keep everyone informed. She said that Council is not sure
when meetings would be held. She said letters would be mailed once a meeting has been
determined.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it sounded like the process would fall between Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
Mr. Yantos stated that the best estimate is the first couple weeks in December. Many agencies
are scrutinizing this information. The N.C.D.A. is waiting for this information to come back so
they finalize it.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the City would receive adequate notice for those meetings.
Mr. Yantos stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings stated that Council is asking the N.C.D.A to take a look at the
environmental impact statement dealing with the sound barrier. If there aze negative impacts, a
means to reduce and mitigate that noise must be figured out. B.N.S.F. being a railroad, falls
under special laws. No one can really dictate to a railroad because federal laws were enacted that
say that railroads can do anything they want to do on their right-of-way.
Mayor Jorgenson asked for a vote on the amendment.

Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this is a tough struggle for the neighborhoods. It impacts
the neighborhood in many ways. She said that Council would like to keep everyone informed
and involved. Council appreciates involvement and input from residents.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 19
Councilmember Billings stated that the Northstar people and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation would much rather have had Council approve the location of the station with
several conditions. The City Attorney has advised Council that the N.C.D.A. and the
Commissioner of Transportation may have come up with an amended process, but they do not
have the ability to make rules that have the impact of law. The City's only two choices are to
approve what was given to them, or to disapprove and make changes.
Mr. Knaak stated that was exactly right.
24. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGARDING A STATION AREA PLAN FOR THE
NCDA COMMUTER RAIL STATION SITE (TABLED SEPTEMBER 25, 2000):
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to remove this item from the table. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the Planning Commission looked at
this item on September 6. The comprehensive plan application was initiated by the City to
evaluate some of the issues about the commuter rail station. The plan language states that
influence area of the commuter rail station is about one-half mile. The plan should evaluate what
types of land uses exist already. Many issues were brought out during the hearing about how
people would get to the site. Staff has done a lot of work already, but what is proposed, is to
look at language included in the draft of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff suggested evaluation of
four goals to guide future decisions. For example, what happens to the vacant four-acre parcel
on the east side? How is the station as a land use treated?
Ms. Dacy said the four principles talk about neighborhood compatibility, mixed and compact
land use, safe station environment and support of access patterns. There is a good mix of density
around the site and a fairly compact pattern already that is developed. Staff suggested that the
City use principles to help guide the future decisions of what should be the land use of some of
the vacant areas. She asked under what circumstances should some of the possible proposals be
evaluated. A big issue is how to create bikeway/walkway connections to the site. One segment
that should be evaluated is along the west side on Main Street. Some issues deserve further
attention. The potential of the City establishing an overlay zoning district can help control
development around and in the station area.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the language with a
resolution as well.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she does not understand why staff did that. There are all
these issues related to the whole station. She asked why staff would recommend a zoning text
amendment with all these issues.
Ms. Dacy stated that it was not a zoning text amendment. It establishes very broad principles
and goals in the Comprehensive Plan. The City should establish a public hearing process to
establish the zoning district, but prior to that, you would typically create broad language in the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 20
Comprehensive Plan to say that this is the azea to look at and show some issues of concern. This
makes sure the appropriate land use is going on. The next step is to include further study. Staff
is not changing the zoning ordinance, but suggesting that prior to development more issues need
to be addressed.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff was planning to initiate a process to create a zoning district to identify
what would be the permitted type of land uses on the vacant site on the east side of the railroad
tracks.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the City was doing anything with all the vacant sites there
now.
Ms. Dacy stated that they were not.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that any more study would be a little premature since the City does not
know more about the station. _
Ms. Dacy stated that it is up to Council. There is no mandate that Council pass this item. She
said that it seemed to make sense for staff to evaluate how the commuter rail station site interacts
with the other land uses around it. There are some benefits to this from a City-wide perspective,
but if it is going to be at this particular site. There should be broad principles established to
make sure that this would help answer future questions. The land on the east side is zoned
industrial right now, and the public may have a different viewpoint on the zoning. The zoning
process will help initiate that analysis.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this states the goals in the comprehensive plan. A further
study would help to ensure that the City would be better protected from future incompatible uses
for the rail site.
Ms. Dacy stated that this is an intent to start in a broad area and work from that.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they are only talking about one parcel not being utilized in
the station plan. Right now some is residential, so Councilmember Bolkcom did not understand
how doing this seems necessary.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he does not understand either.
Ms. Dacy stated that the four principles reflect the principles that Council would like in the
Cornprehensive Plan to be very broad. Whatever is developed on that four-acre piece should be
compatible with the neighborhood. A security control facility has been suggested for this site.
These different types of uses should be evaluated at some point in time because the public will
want to know what is going to go there. Enhanced station neighborhood environment principle
means they are trying to look at pedestrian/bikeway connections and make sure people are
getting there safely.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that all of this is based on the fact that there will be a station.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the urgency of doing this now was.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCI_L MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 21
Ms. Dacy stated that staff had to start somewhere. Staff is trying to take stock of the issue in
terms of what is going to happen to the area back up to one mile. Staff used this to look at
transportation in general in Fridley and how commuter rail might help or hurt University
Avenue. Staff was trying to use the Comprehensive Plan as a tool to evaluate how this fits into
the big picture.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the City would lose anything by not doing this now.
Ms. Dacy stated that they do not lose anything right now.
Mr. Burns stated that if some industrial or land use wants to come into this area that the City felt
was incompatible with the station site, not having this would put the City in a weaker position.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this land has been sitting vacant for some time. She said
this decision did not sit right with her. She was not sure if passing this would prevent anyone
from using this right now zoned the wa}� it is zoned.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that yes, it would weaken the position, but no, it really does not
matter.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would like to wait and see what is going to happen to the site
first.
Councilmember Barnette stated that the Council could table this.
Mr. Knaak stated that it would make sense to table this. The Comprehensive Plan is an ongoing
process.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to table the resolution. Seconded by Councilmember
Barnette.

26. RESOLUTION NO. 90-2000 SUPPORTING APPLICATION FOR MPCA GRANT
FUNDS FOR THE SPRINGBROOK SUBWATERSHED STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT PROJECT:
Ms. Julie Jones, Planning/Recycling Coordinator, stated that the reason the City was looking at
an application for Phase II funding is that in the Phase I application they did find that the
Springbrook Nature Center wetlands have been impacted due to upstream development. There
are opportunities for upstream solutions by reducing storm water flows. It is not reasonable for
Fridley to cover these costs alone without any assistance. The cost for the proposed conections
total $799,000. The grant funding option the City has is to apply for MPCA Phase II funds or
federal Section 319 funds. This would cover up to fifty percent (50%) of the eligible project
costs. Staff noted both grant and loan funds are available. The cost is spread out for three years.
The application deadline is next Monday, October 16. At a previous meeting with the other city
councils involved in this project, staff recommended an even distribution of the costs of this
project among the four cities involved.
Ms. Jones stated that at the September 11 joint city council meeting, one other community
suggested that Fridley distribute the cost per contributing area. Staff has done that. It changed
the contributions for each city. Staff had taken Blaine's and Fridley's 75 percent of the project
costs and split them fifty-fifty. Staff now has confirmation from the cities of Blaine, Coon
Rapids, and Spring Lake Park, that they will each make the contributions requested of them. The
City of Blaine actually contributed more. There is supposed to be a$25,000 contribution from
Northtown Shopping Center. The City of Blaine proposed that Fridley and Blaine split that
contribution.
Ms. Jones said that this resolution states that the City of Fridley commit $48,000, which includes
the money making up the amount that Northtown Shopping Center has not donated yet. On
Tuesday, October 10, Northtown Shopping Center was supposed to send a letter stating that they
will contribute the amount Fridley has requested. Fridley will then reduce Blaine and Fridley's
amount of the contribution to the previous amounts. Staff will be directed to continue to solicit
those private contributions and additional grant funds necessary to make the whole scenario
work. This project has been well over six years in the making. Getting 26 individuals to agree
on a comprehensive plan has not been an easy task. The wetlands have been a priceless amenity
for the City. Right now the wetlands are being used as an educational tool to show the public
that wetlands can be very negatively impacted by the development around it. Staff hopes to turn
that around with this project and have Springbrook once again be a positive educational resource
for the community.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she wanted to thank Ms. Jones for all her efforts and presentation.
The negative impacts from the development affecting the �vetlands are pretty dramatic.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9 2000 PAGE 23
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the commitment from Northtown Shopping Center was truly
going to be on Tuesday, October 10.
Ms. Jones stated that they are going to be contacting the City of Fridley on Tuesday, October 10.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that whether there is a nature center there or not, there is a
wetland, and the issue relates to water quality. The City will still be looking at this issue, nature
center or not.
Ms. Jones stated that the experts are saying that it is not a matter of "if' the City has to meet the
requirements of storm water quality, it is a matter of "when." In less than ten yeazs, the City
would probably be facing some regulation enforcement.
Councilmember Bolkcom sta.ted that the urgency is to get this submitted by October 16 for the
grants.
Ms. Jones stated that the chances are better if they apply right away.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there is a possibility of receiving more grants.
Ms. Jones stated that they could apply for loan funds and grant funds combined. Staff is
planning to apply for pure grant funds in the application.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that none of this money is budgeted.
Ms. Jones stated that the City can apply for loan funds but then would have to pay that money
back with interest. The general feeling from the other communities is that they were not
interested in doing that.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Burns if it is in the budget for next year.
N1r. Burns, City Manager, stated that it is not. He would expect Council to pass a resolution
appropriating additional funds for this for next year.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this is just an estimate of how much it would cost.
Additional studies need to be done.
N1s. Jones stated that this is an estimate. The project will probably start in the summer of next
year.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Ms. Jones when they will know if they are successful in applying for
grant funds.
Ms. Jones stated that they will know in the middle of February, 2001.
Councilmember Barnette stated that Springbrook Nature Center was not intended to have any of
Fridley's tax dollars spent on it. He asked if the other cities passed resolutions by their councils,
and who would be forcing the issue. He asked what power the MPCA has to force the City to do
anything. He asked what would guarantee that anything would change.

Ms. Jones stated that Fridley is forcing the issue because the City took this project on behalf of
the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. Fridley has gone to the other communities
to ask for this contribution. All three of those other communities have turned around and passed
resolutions committing funds to this project. Fridley is the last to pass the resolution. The
MPCA has the power to tell Fridley what to do but the rules are not written yet based on the
federal guideline. That was why the information may seem a bit vague. When those rules are
written the MPCA has the authority to apply those rules to communities with over 10,000 in
population.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there is so much water coming from upstream that it is silting in the
nature center. If the City does not take corrective measures to slow the flow down, it will totally
flood the nearby residents.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they were confusing the nature center and the water quality.
This has to do with water quality and how the City handles our storm water. The City Council
has responsibility as elected officials -�o look at water quality. The other communities are
basically giving Fridley the water. There have been better storm water programs initiated. This
is not like the Rice Creek Watershed District that has big projects they do every yeaz. The Six
Cities Watershed District does not do projects like this, and they may not even have statutory
regulation to assess. That is why the ad velorum does not happen here. That is why we are
looking at more money here.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that they notify all the neighbors when a specific project is being
done in their neighborhood. This project will affect everyone in this City with their tax money.
Mr. Burns stated that they probably would be using fund balances for most of it.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Fridley shares the cost with the watershed and the residents and the
City.
Mr. Burns stated that the City does these kinds of projects all over town.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that this is the nature center, and he understood the filtering
process. The nature center has taken money from the citizens of Fridley for many years, and it
frustrates him. The City's surveys say that the nature center is not used. Councilmember Wolfe
wondered if the City did nothing and the State tells the City eventually that they had to, he asked
if the City's defense would be that water was coming from Blaine. Councilmember Wolfe asked
if the State would require Blaine to pay.
Councilmember Billings stated that over twenty years ago, Council went after Spring Lake Park
because of the water quality coming from that city; however, Fridley lost in court. There are
grant funds available from governmental agencies other than the City of Fridley, Coon Rapids,
and Blaine to do some work here. There is federal legislation that in three to five years Fridley
will have to do something. If the City can get some type of government money to shaxe in the
cost, it behooves the City to do that. The City could wait and see if we could get anyone to help
us when there is no grant money available.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the availability of this grant money is because the four cities are
working together on this project.

AUTHORITY TO REMOVE TREES ON THE GATEWAY EAST PROJECT
SITE, GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR T�IE CORNER OF 57 AVENUE AND
UNIVERSITY AVENUE (WARD 1):
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there will be any trees left on this site after it is prepared for
construction.
Ms. Dacy. Community Development Director, stated that there may be some existing large trees
kept between the Rapid Oil site and the vacant piece to the east. There is the crosshatch piece
east of the vacant parcel where the new public street connection would go. She is not
anticipating any trees to be maintained in that area. The apartment owner to the east is already
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2000 PAGE 27
planning a fence; however, the majority of trees will be removed. If negotiations go well, the
landscaping plan they have is very extensive.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if some landscaping materials will be placed between the new
development and the existing apartment complex there now for screening purposes in addition to
the fence.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct in the north part, but the public road is proposed to be
connected up to 57 1/2 Avenue.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it is unfortunate that most of the trees have to be removed.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the HRA's removal of the trees for the
Gateway East site subject to approval by the Planning Commission. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Billings asked if the Planning Commission's approval was mandatory as stated
in the ordinance that it has to be approved by all three bodies.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission is not going to meet until November. She
understands the ordinance to mean the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation
Commission stand as advisory commissions.
Councilmember Billings stated that it is his understanding that if any one body objects to it, the
trees will not be taken down.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Mr. Knaak could research this and give advice on this item.
Councilmember Billings asked Ms. Dacy if the trees needed to come down in October.
Ms. Dacy stated that the concerns raised were that at night, the area is not well lit, and the trees
create a closed area.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the leaves on the trees will fall off leaving it more visible on the
property.
Councilmember Billings stated that if the City Attorney disagrees with his understanding of the
ordinance, this can be reconsidered at the next meeting.

Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Tax Increment Financing District
No. 17 for Gateway East Project
The City Council is required by law to conduct a public hearing prior to the creation of
any new tax increment financing district. The purpose of the public hearing on Monday
night is to review establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 for the
Gateway East project, including the TIF Plan and modifications to the overall
Redevelopment Plan. The Council will not take official action to approve the district until
the November 6, 2000 meeting. In the interim, the HRA will also take separate action on
November 2, 2000.
Overview of Project
Real Estate Equities of St. Paul plans to construct 28 town home units on the 2.5 acre
site located at the corner of 57th and University Avenue. The homes will be priced from
$126,000 to $142,000 and marketed to recent divorcees; widowers and professional
individuals and couples.
The units will be a three-story design, similar to the Christianson Crossing project, with a
two-car garage on the main level along with a private front entrance; the living room,
kitchen, dining room and a small bathroom on the first level; and the bedrooms on the
second level. The developer is still finalizing their exterior design package, which could
include a small front porch, brick banding and some additional landscaping materials. A
detailed site plan, building elevations and landscaping plan will be prepared as part of
the land use approval later this fall. A copy of the developer's initial plans from the RFP
is included in your packet.

Gateway East TIF Memo
October 19, 2000

HRA's Role
At their September meeting, the HRA approved a"term sheet" which outlined the
general terms and conditions to be included in a development agreement. Staff is in the
process of finalizin�g the details of the agreement which will be considered by the HRA at
their November 2" meeting.
Below is a summary of the more significant terms:
1. The Developer will construct all of the public and private site improvements on the
project, such as roads, utilities, storm ponding, grading, landscaping and the
decorative fence. The developer estimates that these improvements will cost
$616,000 with contingencies.
2. The Authority will contribute $545,000 towards eligible public and private site
improvements. These funds will be placed into an escrow account and drawn down
by the Developer as the work is completed. Any remaining funds would be returned
to the Authority.
3. The Authority will sell the land to the developer for $1.00. According to the developer
the land price reflects the fact they are required to pay prevailing wages to all of the
construction workers on the project. Typically, .prevailing wages are not paid on
residential construction projects which are privately financed. This requirement adds
an estimated $10,000 to $12,000 to the cost of each unit or roughly $228,000 to
$336,OQ0 in total.
4. As a means of re-couping some of the Authority's investment in the site, the
Developer has agreed to split any profits (50/50) after the project expenses have
been paid. The details of the revenue sharing plan are still being negotiated.
5. The Developer would pay for all other customary fees, such as building permits, SAC
charges, park dedication fees, etc.
TIF Cashflow Analysis
The cash flow analysis in the TIF plan assumes that the project would generate
approximately $70,820 per year in new taxes or about $65,144 in tax increment on an
annual basis. Assuming a 2% inflation rate, the district would generate about
$2,113,124 in total tax increment over the life of the district ($1,901,812 after deducting
the standard 10% administrative charge).
36
Gateway East TIF Memo
October 19, 2000
Page 3
Using a present value factor of 7.5%, the tax increment has a present value of $646,162.
This is the only source of revenue for the project. You should note from the Sources and
Uses Statement in TIF plan that estimated expenses are $1,240,065. At the end of 25
years, the district would have a deficit of approximately $593,903. The deficit could be
offset by any funds the Authority receives from the State (e.g. DTED application) or from
the revenue sharing concept discussed earlier in the memo.
The financial projections reflect a residential redevelopment project, which in comparison
to commercial or industrial development, generates significantly less tax increment.
Based on our analysis the town home approach is the most feasible land use for
redeveloping the Gateway East project area.
Need for TIF
Creating the tax increment district is needed in order to facilitate redevelopment of this
important corner. The traditional "but for" test is met due to the fact that the Gateway
East area would not be redeveloped without public involvement. The tax increment will
help reduce the net cost to the Authority, which will have invested over $1,200,000 in the
project for such things as acquisition, relocation, demolition and site improvements.
Without the HRA's assistance, a redevelopment project would not take place. It would
be too costly for a private developer to try and acquire the sites and create a cohesive
development site. In all Irkelihood the project area would continue to decline in condition
and become a further blighting influence on the surrounding neighborhood.
Other Issues
Although the Gateway East district would be the seventeenth TIF district created, the
number of active TIF districts is far less. TIF Districts No. 4, 5, 8 and 10 have all expired
and No. 2 and 3 are restricted. In the case of the last two districts, no additional
expenditures can be made except inside those districts. Using TIF for the Gateway East
project is consistent with state statutes and clearly meets the legislative intent of a
traditional in-fill redevelopment project.
Next Steps
Upon conclusion of the public hearing by the City Council, the HRA will consider
establishment of the district and TIF plan at their November 2 meeting. The HRA will
also consider approval of a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Real Estate
Equities the same evening. The City Council will consider formal approval of the TIF
district on November 6. In addition, the developer will conduct a neighborhood meeting
later this fall in advance of the land use approval process, which should begin in early
December.
